'Royalty' insult British troops
The Duchess of Cornwall was accused of insulting British servicemen yesterday after removing a Remembrance Day poppy. A Royal British Legion officer said "The poppy symbolises not only all the men who fell but the great work that is done by the Legion. To snub us for the (muslim) headscarf is an insult from anyone, let alone someone in her position." Also, a lot of Indian soldiers, of whatever faith or no faith, fought for UK in WW2, it is said over 500,000. Obviously, many people from the subcontinent are nowadays not altogether sure that it was such a good idea to ever support the UK at all.
I was just reflecting last night, after hearing a BBC broadcast about how badly innocent people are treated in Pak jails, how like the UK Pak is becoming. Because in the UK their adversarial criminal system is getting so bad it is almost worse than if it were run by some Judge John Deed with very bad Alzheimer's syndrome. Perhaps it is. Though to replace it with an inquisitorial system would only make bad worse, and UK already has a disproportionate number of innocent people in jail, whilst people like so-called 'royalty' behave so badly it is intolerable. Anyway after what Al Fayed claims about Princess Diana, you'd have thought Al Fayed or his relatives would have had the simple guts to kill off Camilla. After all 'it is said' that she squeaks like a frog in bed. Why not squash the frog, one might say.
A trip to the northwestern city of Pakistan city of Peshawar by the 'royalty' was cancelled over security fears. The trip to the 'moderate' Markaz-ul-Uloom-ul-Islamia was billed as a way to promote interfaith harmony.
IMO: And UK taxpayers have to pay for 'royalty'. One assumes that the trip to the 'moderate' madrassa was cancelled as the Pak Govt had just had to bomb a 'not so moderate' madrassa, and Islam being what it is, it was felt that a stand would be taken to blow up the 'non-Diana royalty' at the 'moderate' madrassa.
